Partners who register in the next 30 days will be granted Gold Partner status immediate

Closter, NJ, (April 4, 2012) - Ericom Software, a global leader in application access and desktop virtualization solutions, today announced a new addition to its PowerPartner channel program, specifically for VMware View(TM) partners, to speed up VMware View adoption and extend VMware View offerings to on-premise deployments as well as Cloud Desktops and DaaS environments. The new program grants immediate Gold partner status and benefits to VMware View partners applying to become Ericom PowerPartners by May 18th.

These new partners will be able to augment their offering with AccessNow for VMware View - Ericom's patent-pending HTML5 client, which provides seamless, web-based access to VMware View virtual desktops. Ericom AccessNow is the first VDI access solution to run wholly within any HTML5-compatible Web browser, including Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and other browsers with HTML5 support. The solution does not require Java, Flash, Silverlight, ActiveX or any other underlying technology, and has already been adopted by many organizations - including City of Orlando, University of Connecticut, Richland School District Two (30,000 users), and others.

Some of the benefits offered to Gold partners by Ericom's PowerPartner program include:

Brian Berns, Ericom Software's President and COO said: "We are very excited to offer this opportunity to VMware View partners. We are experiencing increased attention from VMware customers and partners who find AccessNow for VMware View of great value in accelerating VMware View market adoption." Berns added, "AccessNow for VMware View is an ideal solution for educational, government, healthcare, financial and other organizations that need to provide access to VMware View desktops, from a myriad of end-point devices."

Scott Brousseau, Senior VP & CTO of PBG Networks, both a VMware and an Ericom partner commented: "As a VMware partner with a focus on VMware View, we are thrilled with the great market reception for Ericom's innovative HTML5 client. It is driving new business and enables a much faster VMware View deployment, delivering Windows desktops on-demand to users, virtually anywhere, and on any device." Brousseau added "Ericom AccessNow is indeed addressing a business requirement which is quickly becoming more pronounced every day. In addition, Ericom is shaping up to be a great BYOD enabler, now that the devices that connect to VMware View desktops can be agnostic."

Additional highlights of Ericom AccessNow benefits for IT include:

Looks and works the same way on all supported device types, thus reducing training and help desk costs

Lowers IT workload - IT staff do not have to manage or maintain separate product versions and updates for an ever-increasing variety of end-user devices; an HTML5 browser is all that is required

Simple, easy and inexpensive to maintain - does not require any infrastructure for deployment, upgrades or patches - simply put a new version on the server
